Itinerary
What the flying is like in Valle

a) THE FLYING AND THE SITE:
El Penon is know as one of the worlds most famous flying sites. With its consistent conditions that it offers every day, it is possible to get over 4 hours in the air each day. El Penon is a inland thermal site, located on the edge of a series of ancient volcanoes. Surrounded by hills mountains that are covered in a temperate forest. All of these elements make for very good thermal soaring and XC conditions Dec-March. The area is nice and gives individuals a safe a secure feeling while flying. Retrieves from around the area are easy while everything in Valle compliments the flying schedule and lifestyle.

b) LAUNCH:
El Penon is a natural take off with all the amenities. It handles most wind directions as west and south seem to be the most prevailing and typical conditions. It is a thermal site not a ridge site!!!
Launch is 7665feet above the landing zone 2336meters which is 1850 feet 560 meters above the “piano” LZ which is 1.5 miles 2.5 km in front of launch. An easy glide as long as you are high and it isn’t windy.
Vehicles can go right to the top, to the launch area. A previous PWC has made this a world class launch. Bathroom and snacks and drinks are available on launch.
